A woman and her baseball bat on a mission
The purported victim had a mission in mind when she called police, a mission of which police wanted no part.
Officers were called for a second time around 8:30 Thursday night, June 17, to the first block of Illinois Avenue in the Twin Towers neighborhood near the University of Dayton.
On the first call, the 43-year-old woman told officers her boyfriend had frightened her with his yelling, and she wanted them to respond so he would leave. The boyfriend was not there when police arrived.
On the second call, 30 minutes later, she told officers she had lied and that her boyfriend had pushed and slapped her around.
In addition, she wanted criminal vandalism charges filed against the man. In the intervening 30 minutes, she said she discovered the boyfriend had poured beer over her computer prior to the first call.
As officers were attempting to get more information on the boyfriend, the woman became more and more adamant on what she wanted from police. She and her baseball bat were going to get in the back seat of the police cruiser, and she was going to direct the officers through the neighborhood until they found the boyfriend.
All of this so that once the boyfriend was found, “she could get out and bash his head in with the bat,” according to the officers’ report.
Both officers, time and again, informed the woman that was not going to happen. They tried to get her to focus on giving them the boyfriend’s information so he could be found. She continued to persist on her planned course of action.
Officers continued their persuasion that her best course of action was to remain in her apartment “until …. she had sobered up.”
When it finally dawned on the woman that police were not going to take her boyfriend hunting, she told the officers, “Well, then you might as well erase everything that I just told you because that’s the only thing I have an interest in,” according to the officers’ report.
Unable to get a description or any information on the boyfriend and given the woman’s lack of cooperation, police cleared the scene.
